That's ironic since cities like Chicago, Boston, and even NYC are far more segregated than cities down south.
Maybe by race, Cowboy. Your need to play gotcha with me just makes you look bitter. It's also not as if you have block after block of 25/25/25/25 splits down south. The south is also segregated by race. All of the U.S. is. The difference is up north black/Hispanic/Asian people live 10 blocks away verse 10 miles. Segregation is MOSTLY a white/black issue, although all groups tend to live in bubbles.
Those places were also built in a manner that forced cultures to blend and new ones to cultivate. People were forced to have interactions with people of different cultural backgrounds and economic means. I'm not saying that Dallas won't continue to grow into its own identity, but it's not likely to be similar to the identities of places like NYC, Chicago, Philly, or Boston. Before widespread gentrification in northern cities, the poor and working class were never far away. Even places like Lincoln Park in Chicago housed poor immigrants and working class Americans.
This isn't so different from Sunbelt cities but the major point of differentiation is that the northern cities got lots of immigrants early on, whereas for Sunbelt cities like Dallas, it happened later.

All youre doing is making stuff up. The difference is that I see through it.
Its also cute that you think Im a Cowboy. I grew up in LA and Ive never worn boots or a Cowboy hat. Im a Dallas Cowboys fan which is where the name comes from.
I guess you've never been to Houston. If anyone were dumb enough to say that a city like Chicago was more integrated than a place like Houston or Dallas for that matter, they would deserve to get talked back to.
Your big cities in the Midwest and North East ARE more segregated than your big cities down South. I am not saying that every city in the South is fully integrated, just that the region is more integrated than the Midwest.

The differences in built environment definitely contribute to the differences in cultural evolution, but I agree the time at which these places received immigrants also plays a role. They already had established cultural identities when immigrants from predominately Latin America and Asia began to arrive.

Your big cities in the Midwest and North East ARE more segregated than your big cities down South. That is a FACT. Go ahead and try and pole vault around it.
I'm calling you Cowboy because that's your name, lol. Relax, bud. If you're offended by my posts, block me. I couldn't care less.
I'm not making anything up. I even said that places up north were more segregated, lol. That doesn't make places down south integrated because they're marginally less segregated than the north. Segregation is widespread throughout the U.S.
Boston segregated? HA!!. srsly? maybe in 1973. :lmfao:
Everywhere is segregated. These days its mostly by income, although income and race are correlated, unfortunately. There aren't any laws that legally allow minorities to be denied housing because they're not a WASP.
oh Huffington. hahahahaha Jeeze that's the last word!!!
They're telling us Boston is segregated because a lot of hispanics can't afford to live in Beacon Hill.
i can't afford to live in Beacon Hill either HEY!!
i also can't afford to live up in Millennium Tower....

But this isn't grounds for me to spew about being economically repressed. ..In Chicago, SF, Chicago, Boston etc, the affordable housing taxes the wealthy pay either directly or indirectly (through high rents) goes a long way to giving people real choices to improve their econmic situation/s by putting them within a few hundred yards of quality higher education without the added expense of university housing..... ....an incredible 'deal' for people hungry to rise to the next level.
